Review: New York Herald, 12 January 1870, 5.

“Mr. James Taylor infused rare and unsurpassed vocal humor into the entertainment by a diversity of songs, in which the form of mimicry was portrayed in a wonderful degree. Miss Ada Alexander sang several ballads and comic songs with artistic and gratifying effect.”
